The 'clampv 27 consists-Otis, basef\29, having#` longitudinala groovedLedges 301iandf=31, inv

which groovestonguesonthe lowerend's ozfY 95 thel movable j aw.y 32'v operate. f 33 is affxed-i jaw-memben projecting through the klowerv edge of which is a screw rod 34, which open* Y 'Y ates- 'ini alongitudinal Vrecess 35`yinf 'said memberl29;v the movementfof saidfzjaw 32bei11g2f100 controlled by said rod 34. The rod 34 is provided with a T-shaped head 35, by means of which it maybe easily operated. The jaw members 32 and 33 have outwardlv inclined lower portions 36 and 37 in order 105 i that the bottom edges 38 and 39, of the stack'of pamphlets 40', may project therein in order to lock the stack Within the clamp. The jaws 32 and 33 are provided With plates 41 and 42 on which are mounted handles 110 43 and 44,' in order that after a' stack of pamphlets has been secured Within the clamp f the clamp may be easily picked up bodily and placed upon the roller bed ot' the machine l.

Fixed to the rear edge of the javv 33, is a rod 45, which slidably projects through an aperture 46 in the jaw 32 against which rod the backs oi' the pamphlets are stacked.

Figure 8 illustrates a clamp 27 with a stack ot pamphlets therein and it will be noted that the said pamphlets 40 are shown buckled, this buckling being caused through thenecessity of having to bind the pamphlets very close together. In Figuri-:lA 9, I have shown a niodiiication or the invention which overcomes this din/Viculty. In this form of the invention Iv provide a buckle preventing rod 4g the end 48 oi which is mounted in the bearing member 49, the upper end of which has a slot 49 through which the rod projects and in which it is held by means of a thumb screw 50. The

c member 45 is also provided with an'apertion lof the movable clamp jaw.

form of the invention the aw 53 is fixed or n ture threaded on the handle 44 which forms a support for said bearing member. On the handle 43 is mounted a similar bearing 5l. After ythe clamp has been tightened to a desired extent, the set screw 52 is screwed down, by means, ot which the rod 47 isadjusted to the height of the pamphlets Vbeing trimmed. Y

InmFigure ll I show. a slight inodilica- In this integrally Jrormed on the internally, screw threaded coller 54, which maybe threaded upon thescrew 34 in place of the clamp 32.

rlhis is for vpamphletsv ofV a smaller sizev than those held in the clamp ot' Figures 8 and 9.

AFgures'I2, I3, I4 and l5, illustratelanother modification of a pamphlet retaining device and in which the retaining rod bearfied formv of band saw support in which f ing members 55, are provided with spring Y.

clips 56 and 57 which aievadapted to engage' the holder plate 58, the heads l59 and Oot'rsaid clips seating in the grooves 6l and V62 of said member 58 in order that .as the jaw 32 moves toward'the jaw 33, the member will be drawn along with the same. f y

In Figures 16, 17 and 18, I show a modii'ied form of clamp in which the frame 7 O j is 4.provided With longitudinal linner grooves `V 7l and 72'in which the tongues 73 and 74 e vof the movable jaw operate. Y The jaw 75 i is 'provided ywith an outwardly. projecting handle 76'and fa fixed jaw 77 Vis provided with a similar handle 78. l j l Having' described the invention, that which Iclaimand desireV to procure by Letters Patent is f V `i l. A paper trimming device embracing au table, a band saw connected therewith, a'carriage operableon the tableto pass said saw, said table having rollers over which said carriage operates,v meansfor clamping stack of paperon saidtable, means for pre# venting the lbuckling of said stack, said means consistingyofa rod mounted oversaid stack.
